9 a.m. - 10 a.m. PST
Session Description
Sleep deprivation is a growing public health threat in an increasingly 24-7, constantly connected world. New research looks at the role of healthy sleep and circadian rhythm regulation in the brain and the impact that aberrant sleep-wake cycles may play in the pathology of conditions. Researchers will discuss the potential role of sleep-focused therapies in helping to prevent and/or treat Alzheimer's disease, anxiety disorder, and other diseases of the brain.
